Some thoughts: Aside from the metrics idea I put on the wiki page, I think it is fairly important to merge REVU, mentors.d.o and sponsors.d.o into one site. The metrics idea would allow me to prioritise packages based on criteria that I think are important (failed puiparts, FTBFS on sid or on $arch, 5 zillion lintian errors, overrode all the lintian errors instead of fixing them, won't enter NM & become a DD), preventing me from wasting time on packages that I won't sponsor due to too many problems. It also helps sponsees see how their packages stack up to the quality standards of DDs who will be doing uploads and also helps them improve their packages. For each metric, the sponsee should also be able to add a comment; for example: "these linda errors are bugs in linda" or "this package is only for $arch". I think having buildds behind mentors.d.n is important, if only for the lintian and puiparts checks on the resulting binary packages and the effect of those on the metrics. If we don't have physical machines that could do builds & testing (buildd.net folks could probably help there), then qemubuilder and vlosuts could be one option. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
